Every one knows how good mango is when it comes to taste but I think only few are aware of the health benefit Mango contains.This delicious fruit or I would say the “King Of Fruits” helps to lower the cholesterol and is a good source of Vitamin A which is important for the eyes. So I thought to play around with this recipe and prepare one of the famous dish known as Mango Khurma (also known as Pachadi in South and Ambal in Jammu). My kids love this recipe as it’s Sweet and Sour in taste. Cooking mango with the rich content of spices makes it unique. It’s very easy to make and goes well as a sider. You can have this at any time.
